Entry for New Pergammon Encyclopedia of Adult Education: Social Movement Learning
(0000) Hall, Budd L; Clover, Darlene E.
"Social movements are not merely social dramas; they are the social action from where new knowledge including worldviews, ideologies, religions, and scientific theories originate" (Eyerman and Jamison, 1991, p 14). Social movement learning is: a) learning by persons who are part of any social movement; and b) learning by persons outside of a social movement as a result of the actions taken or simply by the existence of social movements. Learning by persons who are part of a social movement may occur in an informal way because of the stimulation and requirements of participation in a movement.
Environmental Adult Education: Ecological Learning, Theory, and Practice for Socioenvironmental Change
(New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2003) Hill, Lilian H.; Clover, Darlene E.
Why is it important to discuss environmental issues in the context of adult and continuing education? Many of the world's adults are very much aware of environmental problems and are afraid, in fact terrified, that the world is in immediate danger. Their understandings come from a variety of sources such as personal observations and daily lived experiences, their peers, news reports and other media, and community-action campaigns. However, environmental problems loom large and can be difficult to understand due to both their scientific nature, and more importantly, the complexity of ideo-logical standpoints at their origin. The latter barrier makes it difficult for people to envision how they can possibly make a difference, thereby engendering feelings of hopelessness, fear, confusion, and apathy.
